Here's an interesting article from the U.S. census bureau, which likely applies to Canada as well: "The U.S. Census Bureau reported today that 74 percent of those who have a bachelor's degree in science, technology, engineering and math — commonly referred to as STEM — are not employed in STEM occupations." https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2014/cb14-130.html This is not surprising because according to payscale.com the average Indian programmer makes just $8,300 cdn for the entire year. IBM now has more employees in India than it does in America. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/28/technology/ibm-india.html Industry is making a concerted effort to perpetuate the skills shortage myth so that they can beguile politicians and persuade them to open the floodgates of immigration. This has the effect of saturating the market and lowering wages. And they have succeeded: https://www.payscale.com/research/CA/Job=Computer_Programmer/Salary/5f88d602... Note that a letter carrier makes more money. /gary On 19-02-22 07:03 PM, nick via talk wrote:
Greetings All,
I don't know if someone would be willing to give some advice on finding Co-op. For the last two semesters including semester I've been looking and found very little for my skills. Don't know what's up as literally getting in contact with folks at AMD got me contacts. Maybe someone has experience with the CO-OP program either hiring or otherwise.
If someone wants a resume that's fine I would prefer to send it directly rather than to a public list through,
